Makanology 29 Report post Posted December 31, 2013 (edited) Hi our sink is 780x510x220 from the brand Carysil. It is a silgranite sink though made in India. However it works supremely well for us and cheaper than Blanco. We paid around $300-320 (can't remember exact price) and bought at Royal Fanco (tel: 6299 0453) - very, very good service!

greglhc 30 Report post Posted December 31, 2013 Agree that it's best to get a deep sink with single bowl to wash big pots. Much less water splashing out when washing also! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EMinlove 2 Report post Posted December 31, 2013 Thanks Makanolgy for the contact! I will go check it out...ya I like the size like yours, just nice to fit my kitchen cabinet Also to Makanology & Greglhc, thanks for the feedback,I think I will go with deep single sink better la. More spacious and don't compromise my table top space too.Happy New Year Guys! May all proud home owners (include myself) be even prouder when your reno complete next year!

MHB 3 Report post Posted December 31, 2013 Hi,I tried to take a few photos but could not cause the laminate to stand out.A contrast between the green wall and the laminate wardrobe. I understand yours is Tiffany color and should look great tooHope this helps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EMinlove 2 Report post Posted January 1, 2014 Thanks so much MHB!Haha ya I agree the wood grain of the laminate is hard to take photo, even a small sample I was pointing my camera for so long to capture it properly lolxI guess it should look ok with my bathroom ya. Add some texture and color to it Though I am toying if I should change the solid top now. ID said is a bit porous but ok for bathroom. I wonder if I should choose a darkr color Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So new year new stuff to post haha!My hubby and I DIY this bird cage pendant lights for our stairs. I bought 4 bird cages (2big , 2small) so we sprayed painted two bird cages it in Tiffany color since I love that color so much. Tadah!Steps are simple, all you need is a bird cage (of course!), cardboard, a quick dry lacquer spray and a light bulb per cage.1) Just make sure you spray it with the wind direction behind you2) Spray it evenly at a short distance3) Do one coat of paint and let it dry 4) Respray another coat5) drill a hole at the top of the cage6) fix up the light bulb. Viola! I am undecided what to spray for the other two cages. Can only afford another colour otherwise too busy. Thinking if I should spray it chrome or pastel yellow (refer below). What do you guys think? Edited January 1, 2014 by EMinlove Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EMinlove 2 Report post Posted January 12, 2014 Hi All,We are thinking of using blinds instead of curtains. Anyone has any blinds supplier to recommend?Thank you so much in advance!Eminlove Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EMinlove 2 Report post Posted January 12, 2014 So I asked my contractor who asked the supplier for laminate and his reply was :"Fm supplier: if the floor is cement floor than use rubber. If with tiles flooring we use aluminum foil underlay...tell them foam de is the most cheapo type use by china board. Use to wrap furniture de. We use the Aluminum foil de is better than the 1mm foam underlay use by china board. I dont have that... lolzMost important explain to them rubber de is needed more if floor very uneven. But your jurong site ok floor swee swee..."Lolx.... So I guess in summary we are using aluminum foil which suppose to be better than foam that seems to be ok for our good condition tiles Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
